The Samagi Jana Balawegaya-led government will provide meals to all school children, said party leader MP Sajith Premadasa, slamming the incumbent government’s current meal distribution programme.

The Opposition Leader pointed out that the government has commenced providing meals only for elementary school children, which was a shameful policy. 

Stating that children in the same school should not be divided and categorized, the MP said that an SJB-led government will ensure that all school children are provided with meals. 

He made the remarks while participating in the 134th phase of the SJB’s ‘Sakwala Smart classroom programme’ under which smart classroom equipment worth Rs. 1 million was provided to the Tangalle Kotawasa Maha Vidyalaya in Hambantota. (NewsWire)
